The driver for the 128 should work on a 256 chipset (it has worked for me in the past). >Which xserver should I use? I think it should be SVGA. >Have somebody tried Framebuffer? Is it better than standard svga? Framebuffer is good. It allows you to kill the X server and have the kernel restore the video mode. Unfortunately there is no NeoMagic frame buffer (if I had lots of spare time I'd write one). So you have to use the VESA frame buffer, this should be faster than the SVGA driver for games but will be much slower for scrolling windows in X. >And I don't know which horizontal or vertical refresh rates I have to set. They shouldn't matter much, unless you have a CRT monitor plugged into the external monitor port. >BTW, I have a thinkpad 390E. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
